Description

DISPOSITIVO APLICADOR DE FLUIDO DESCRIPCIÓN  FLUID APPLICATOR DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Objeto de la invención Object of the invention
La presente invención pertenece a los dispositivos empleados en la producción, fabricación y ensamblado de piezas en la industria aeronáutica. The present invention pertains to the devices used in the production, manufacture and assembly of parts in the aeronautical industry.
Un objeto de la invención consiste en proporcionar un dispositivo capaz de aplicar un fluido de una forma rápida y homogénea, y capaz por tanto de mejorar su aplicación y de disminuir el tiempo actualmente empleado para ello. An object of the invention is to provide a device capable of applying a fluid in a fast and homogeneous manner, and therefore capable of improving its application and reducing the time currently used for it.
Así mismo, es objeto de la invención proporcionar un dispositivo aplicador de fluido que cumpla satisfactoriamente con los requisitos impuestos por una de las normas para sellantes actualmente en vigor en la industria aeronáutica, en particular, la norma 1 +D-P-146. It is also the object of the invention to provide a fluid applicator device that satisfactorily meets the requirements imposed by one of the standards for sealants currently in force in the aeronautical industry, in particular, the 1 + D-P-146 standard.
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
Una de las normas actualmente en vigor para la aplicación de sellantes sobre superficies de fibra de carbono es la norma 1+D-P-146. Esta norma establece la obligación de llevar a cabo sellados de encapsulado en las cabezas de los tornillos, las tuercas, los prisioneros, las cabezas de remache, los collares, etc. con el fin de impedir la introducción en sus juntas de fluidos que favorezcan la corrosión. One of the standards currently in force for the application of sealants on carbon fiber surfaces is the 1 + D-P-146 standard. This standard establishes the obligation to carry out encapsulation seals on screw heads, nuts, prisoners, rivet heads, necklaces, etc. in order to prevent the introduction into its joints of fluids that favor corrosion.
Con este objetivo y para la realización de sellados, la norma establece la ejecución de unas tareas de limpieza específicas para acondicionar la superficie a sellar, la aplicación de un promotor de adhesión sobre las superficies acondicionadas y finalmente, la aplicación del sellante. With this objective and for the realization of seals, the standard establishes the execution of specific cleaning tasks to condition the surface to be sealed, the application of an adhesion promoter on the conditioned surfaces and finally, the application of the sealant.
El promotor de adhesión es un fluido utilizado para mejorar la adhesión del sellante en zonas críticas o cuando lo requieran los planos aplicables a los elementos concretos. Su aplicación es esencial para asegurar el sellado y evitar la corrosión de las superficies atornilladas, por ello, la norma 1+D-P-146 establece una seria de pautas para su aplicación. The adhesion promoter is a fluid used to improve the adhesion of the sealant in critical areas or when required by the plans applicable to the specific elements. Its application is essential to ensure sealing and prevent corrosion of Bolted surfaces, therefore, standard 1 + DP-146 establishes a series of guidelines for its application.
En concreto, la superficie tratada con el promotor de adhesión deberá exceder en 4 mm el área a recubrir por el sellante. El promotor de adhesión se aplicará mediante frotado de la superficie con trapos blancos sin hilachas empapados en el promotor de adhesión, o a brocha, en zonas de acceso difícil evitando el exceso de producto, y el exceso del mismo se eliminará por empapado con trapos blancos limpios libres de hilachas. Así mismo, el fluido aplicado se dejará secar a temperatura ambiente un mínimo de 15 minutos antes de la aplicación del sellante. En caso de superarse el tiempo entre operaciones de dos horas, el promotor de adhesión deberá aplicarse nuevamente antes de realizar el sellado de las superficies. In particular, the surface treated with the adhesion promoter must exceed the area to be covered by the sealant by 4 mm. The adhesion promoter shall be applied by rubbing the surface with white rags without threads soaked in the adhesion promoter, or by brush, in areas of difficult access avoiding excess product, and the excess thereof shall be removed by soaking with clean white rags lint-free Likewise, the applied fluid will be allowed to dry at room temperature a minimum of 15 minutes before the application of the sealant. If the time between two-hour operations is exceeded, the adhesion promoter must be applied again before sealing the surfaces.
A día de hoy y en la práctica, el promotor de adhesión se aplica de forma manual mediante pinceles. Estas aplicaciones son lentas, se cubre menos superficie de la establecida en la norma y además, el promotor no queda distribuido de forma homogénea. Today and in practice, the adhesion promoter is applied manually using brushes. These applications are slow, less surface is covered than the one established in the standard and in addition, the promoter is not distributed homogeneously.
Así, según lo expuesto, el estado de la técnica no cuenta con un dispositivo para aplicar un fluido, del tipo promotor de adhesión, que sea capaz de reducir el tiempo necesario para su aplicación y que sea capaz de distribuirlo homogéneamente sobre la superficie a tratar conforme a los requisitos establecidos por la norma 1+D-P-146. Thus, according to the foregoing, the state of the art does not have a device for applying a fluid, of the adhesion promoter type, which is capable of reducing the time necessary for its application and that is capable of distributing it homogeneously over the surface to be treated. in accordance with the requirements established by standard 1 + DP-146.
Descripción de la invención Description of the invention
De esta forma, el dispositivo aplicador de fluido que la presente invención propone, se presenta como una mejora frente a lo conocido en el estado del arte, puesto que consigue alcanzar satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos para la técnica. In this way, the fluid applicator device that the present invention proposes, is presented as an improvement over what is known in the state of the art, since it manages to satisfactorily achieve the aforementioned objectives as suitable for the technique.
La invención consiste en un dispositivo aplicador de fluido que comprende un tubo acumulador de fluido de configuración cilindrica con un estrechamiento en una sección intermedia que define una parte superior abierta en su extremo, y una parte inferior que contiene un elemento de material absorbente. El elemento de material absorbente está dispuesto en el extremo de la parte inferior para formar la base del dispositivo. The invention consists of a fluid applicator device comprising a fluid accumulator tube of cylindrical configuration with a narrowing in an intermediate section defining an upper part open at its end, and a lower part containing an element of absorbent material. The material element Absorbent is disposed at the end of the bottom to form the base of the device.
El dispositivo descrito permite una aplicación controlada y homogénea de un fluido, gracias tanto al tubo acumulador como al elemento de material absorbente contenido en su interior. The described device allows a controlled and homogeneous application of a fluid, thanks to both the accumulator tube and the element of absorbent material contained inside.
El tubo acumulador está adaptado para contener el fluido a aplicar, el cual, empapará el material absorbente de la parte inferior del tubo de llenado cuando dicho tubo contenga el fluido. Así, la aplicación del fluido podrá controlarse mediante el tubo acumulador, pudiendo variar la capacidad de almacenamiento del mismo, bien modificando la longitud o el diámetro del mismo. De esta forma, en aplicaciones dedicadas en las que se desee cubrir superficies de tamaños muy reducidos, se optará preferentemente por utilizar un dispositivo de diámetro reducido, mientras que en aplicaciones en las que se desee cubrir superficies algo mayores, se optará por utilizar un dispositivo con un diámetro mayor. The accumulator tube is adapted to contain the fluid to be applied, which will soak the absorbent material from the bottom of the filling tube when said tube contains the fluid. Thus, the application of the fluid may be controlled by the accumulator tube, the storage capacity thereof may vary, either by modifying the length or diameter thereof. Thus, in dedicated applications in which it is desired to cover surfaces of very small sizes, it will be preferred to use a device of reduced diameter, while in applications where it is desired to cover somewhat larger surfaces, a device will be chosen with a larger diameter.
El elemento de material absorbente también favorece la aplicación controlada y homogénea del fluido, ya que el fluido que contenga el tubo acumulador impregnará gradualmente el material absorbente. Así, el material absorbente evita la aplicación directa del fluido, la cual suele acarrear aplicaciones desiguales. The absorbent material element also favors the controlled and homogeneous application of the fluid, since the fluid containing the accumulator tube will gradually impregnate the absorbent material. Thus, the absorbent material prevents the direct application of the fluid, which usually leads to uneven applications.
Por otra parte, el estrechamiento en una sección intermedia del tubo acumulador de fluido permite definir dos partes diferenciadas en el mismo, y delimitar el alojamiento del material absorbente en una de ellas, en concreto, en su parte inferior. On the other hand, the narrowing in an intermediate section of the fluid accumulator tube makes it possible to define two differentiated parts therein, and to delimit the housing of the absorbent material in one of them, specifically, in its lower part.
Según una realización preferente, el elemento de material absorbente está contenido en toda la parte inferior del tubo acumulador de fluido. En esta realización, el elemento de material absorbente permitirá una aplicación más controlada. Así mismo, esta configuración favorecerá la aplicación del fluido de forma homogénea y cubriendo parte de la superficie circundante del área sobre la que se pretende aplicar el fluido. Dicho fluido, se aplicará ejerciendo pequeñas presiones sobre el área objetivo. Según una realización preferente, el elemento de material absorbente tiene una base inferior sustancialmente plana, mientras que según otra realización preferente, el elemento de material absorbente tiene una hendidura en su base inferior. De esta forma, la invención comprende distintas realizaciones dependiendo de la configuración de la superficie sobre la que se pretende aplicar el fluido. According to a preferred embodiment, the absorbent material element is contained throughout the lower part of the fluid accumulator tube. In this embodiment, the absorbent material element will allow a more controlled application. Likewise, this configuration will favor the application of the fluid in a homogeneous way and covering part of the surrounding surface of the area on which the fluid is intended to be applied. Said fluid will be applied by exerting small pressures on the target area. According to a preferred embodiment, the absorbent material element has a substantially flat lower base, while according to another preferred embodiment, the absorbent material element has a groove in its lower base. Thus, the invention comprises different embodiments depending on the configuration of the surface on which the fluid is intended to be applied.
Así, la realización según la cual el elemento de material absorbente tiene una base inferior sustancialmente plana, es decir, una base inferior continua, está indicada para su uso sobre elementos de fijación con cabezas planas que no precisan de un hueco donde alojarse, mientras que la realización en la que la base inferior del elemento de material absorbente presenta una hendidura, está indicada para su uso sobre tuercas. De forma preferente, el elemento de material absorbente es una esponja. Thus, the embodiment according to which the absorbent material element has a substantially flat bottom base, that is, a continuous bottom base, is indicated for use on fasteners with flat heads that do not require a recess in which to stay, while the embodiment in which the lower base of the absorbent material element has a groove, is indicated for use on nuts. Preferably, the absorbent material element is a sponge.
Según otra realización preferente, el dispositivo aplicador de fluido comprende un elemento dosificador acoplado al extremo abierto de la parte superior del tubo acumulador de fluido, donde dicho elemento dosificador contiene el fluido a aplicar y comprende medios para su aplicación de forma controlada. Preferentemente, el fluido es un promotor de adhesión. According to another preferred embodiment, the fluid applicator device comprises a dosing element coupled to the open end of the upper part of the fluid accumulator tube, wherein said dosing element contains the fluid to be applied and comprises means for its application in a controlled manner. Preferably, the fluid is an adhesion promoter.
El elemento dosificador permite dispensar el fluido en el tubo acumulador de fluido de una forma controlada. Así, este elemento favorece la aplicación controlada del fluido, ya que controla la cantidad de líquido dispensada en el tubo acumulador, y en consecuencia, la aplicación del fluido. The dosing element allows dispensing the fluid in the fluid accumulator tube in a controlled manner. Thus, this element favors the controlled application of the fluid, since it controls the amount of liquid dispensed in the accumulator tube, and consequently, the application of the fluid.
Según otra realización preferente, los medios de aplicación del fluido del elemento dosificador comprenden un conducto susceptible de contener el fluido a aplicar, y un émbolo adaptado para su introducción en el conducto. Los medios de aplicación del fluido permiten controlar la dispensación del líquido de una forma más sencilla y regulada que la dispensación manual.
